Device Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Victa Full Feature Base device.

The Full Feature Base is a highly capable solution built for modern mobile and portable devices such as VP100, VM100 etc. The Victa FF Base supports Ethernet connection for seamless integration with Electronic Cash Registers (ECRs).

There are three separate USB interfaces; USB-A to connect accessories to the base such as scanner. Only peripherals appearing as single virtual serial ports are supported on this port.

USB-C for powering the base via the power supply provided with the terminal, and the secondary USB-B interface that allows serial data connection.

In Bluetooth connection, a dedicated base control channel ensures the operation and remains independent of the handset.

When the terminal is docked, it automatically communicates over USB by default; when undocked, it transitions seamlessly to a Bluetooth PAN connection. Bluetooth support enables Grab-and-Go workflows, allowing the terminal to be removed from the base and remain connected via Bluetooth.
